PLM engineering
The process-oriented central SQL database allows the technical relationships and fundamentals to be generated and managed in an object-oriented manner. All engineering processes are mapped from the requirement specification to the specification sheet and carry all necessary information in a data and document pool, from the conceptual design to basic and detail engineering to the as-built documentation.
An integrated knowledge management is the most important central component to achieve transparency and innovation in the company. Every knowledge documentation is immediately displayed completely and correctly when a business process is completed.
That means for planning:
- PCycle times are shortened
- PThe goal is the completion of a complete service process in one step
- PThe quality management is integrated and continuous
- PPlanning processes are simplified despite their complexity because existing knowledge can be integrated into new projects
- PEffectiveness through standardisation, the reduction of the variety of methods automatically increases the quality of the results and reduces throughput times
- PIncreasing decision-making competence through transparent knowledge
- PIncrease in automation through rule-based processes
- PSubsequent documentation is usually subject to additional costs and time
- PDocument management qualified for the process industry considerably reduces the time needed to search for and access information and documents. The mere fact that decisions can be made on the basis of immediately available knowledge means that such investments pay for themselves in a very short time. The greatest benefit is the integrative complete recording of business processes available in PLM-PLANET.
- PWith a "passive" archive this main benefit is not accessible in the long term

PID - PIA automatic process engineering
PLM PIA generates a PID fully automatically. A component configuration and an Excel transfer are the basis.
The project manages the individual Excel files, which are the basis for the design of the automatic P&ID construction. In the transfer file the parameters and the individual modules are provided. The actual assemblies and the project drawing creation remain in PLM Planet and are controlled by the new automation.
The assemblies, their attributes and their multilingualism are managed and organised in a management program. Since each assembly can have different attributes, each assembly is linked to the variable attribute definition. In the order, the specific attributes are then filled with the content in the selected project language.
Before the transfer to PLM-Planet, the attributes are filled with the transfer data using the xls transfer file created by the design program. Missing information is queried in a dialog.
The variable attribute link in PLM-Planet makes the corresponding entries in the drawing. The attribute names in the database match the attribute names in the individual blocks of the drawing. If an assembly is used in a project and several languages (up to three languages at the same time) are agreed upon, the corresponding attributes are prompted to enter the values. If these parameters are transferred from Excel, the values are taken from the transfer file.

P3D - 3D Layout Planning
PLM-3D opens up a new world in 3D piping and equipment modelling for the planner by using a 3D-XML technology to capture hierarchically structured data. The XML-supported basic technology of PLM-PLANET decomposes each pipe, component and part into its graphic basic bodies, which are assembled via a 3D-XML construction manual and can be exchanged platform-independently.
Other highlights include playful modelling in the 3D system with data consistency to the P&ID, line routing, integrated steel construction profiles, stairs, etc. Collision control, automated parts lists, production and weld seam isometrics, import and export to Rohr2, component libraries according to DIN, EN, ANSI, plausibility control via PCL. In P3D the VT-Tree is also the central instrument, as it is also a graphical view of the database, all information and changes are immediately available. The equipment is generated via the tree and nozzles / connections are assigned as specified in the process engineering.
The pipes are the basis for the allocation to pipe classes and thus to the material system.
The 3D model of a plant today serves as the linchpin for the coordination for the construction of a plant.
Quantity frameworks for parts lists are determined, layout plans, fire protection plans or isometrics for the production of individual pipelines are derived. The 3D model of a plant also serves as a collision check and can be used as a basis for maintenance. PLM P3D is the tool of choice here.
PLM P3D offers the following features:
- PUse the possibilities of component and variant design to obtain an intelligent 3D model, change technical parameters and your 3D model will automatically adapt.
- PUse the intelligent tools for steel construction such as platforms, stairs and railings.
- PUse the integration of your process engineering database

NAV Planning Supporting 3D Navigation in Navisworks
NAV is a module for planning supporting 3D navigation with data and documents from the PLM system.
The trade structure with integration of DMS controls the creation and modification of a 3D model.
Thanks to PLM-NAV it is no longer necessary to search through drawing or revision lists to reference the desired objects.
When navigating through the plant, click on a component and you immediately have all planning and data information available. By linking NavisWorks and the PLM-PLANET database via PLM-NAV, it is now possible to call up the information of every component recorded in the database in a 3D model.
Now select a specific area in your project and mark the objects required for your planning.
With a click of the mouse, PLM-NAV will then put together the corresponding drawing (regardless of the number of sources). In the NAV, the P&ID TAG object is directly connected to the 3D component, so that the correct circuit can be checked directly. PLM NAV starts the 3D construction with P3D directly from the NavisWorks model and updates the model after the changes have been made.
External 3D parts are linked to the database to gain access to the PLM database.
